Order

The Bond Centre is to pay $3,221.00 from the bond of $3,304.00 (BN- 00148301) to Paresh Patel immediately.
The balance of the bond of $83.00 is to remain at the Bond Centre.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing, set down to be conducted via video conference. There was no entry into the conference by the tenant, nor any call in to the conference by one of the telephone numbers provided on the Notice of Hearing. I was satisfied adequate service had completed and I continued with the hearing.
The landlord is of the view that the tenant has left the country. This was a one year fixed-term tenancy that commenced 18 September 2025. The tenant advised the landlord by email on 25 May 2025 that he had left, and the keys were in the letterbox. Rent liability continues. The landlord is yet to relet the premises despite advertising since the tenant advised of his departure.
The landlord application sought rent arrears and compensation for break costs. Other vacated claims for tenant failures were indicated but as at today they had yet to be finalised nor evidenced. They are to form a second application if so desired by the landlord. The same applies to any break costs (with the landlord referred to s 44A Residential Tenancies Act 1986, as discussed at the hearing).
A party who brings a claim to the Tenancy Tribunal must prove on the balance of probabilities (more likely than not) that their version of events took place. Independent witnesses, corroborating documents and photographs are an important part of discharging this burden of proof.
The issue of evidence at Tenancy Tribunal hearings was considered by the District Court in Kaipo v Clarke & McCarthy (DC) TT233/02. Judge Mather stated: “...[the applicant] needs to be reminded that like anyone who brings an application before a Tribunal or a Court, it is incumbent upon the applicant to provide the evidence necessary to prove the case. If the applicant fails to do that, then their application will be dismissed whether it has merit or not because it is up to the applicant to provide the necessary evidence. It is not up to the other parties and it is certainly not up to the Tribunal to extract evidence.”

What rent arrears are due?

The landlord submitted a rent summary to 16 June 2026 via the Team’s Share function. That required adjustment from the total to account for an additional day. The weekly rent comprised rent of $790.00 and water at $36.00. Given the tenant has left the premises and no water consumption should be occurring the final rent arrear is calculated and adjusted to reflect the last three weeks liable being rent of $790.00 only. That equates to rent owing as at 17 June 2026 of $3,193.00. This is awarded. Filing fee
Because Paresh Patel has substantially succeeded with the claim I have reimbursed the filing fee.
